I’m not sure how you mean this. By “why existence”, do you mean something like the “purpose of existence”?
I mean in the sense “why does existence exist?”. It’s really an inappropriate question, despite our ability to phrase it in what seems like a grammatically/linguistically correct way.
Then I agree that this question is probably poorly formed. Certainly it isn’t obvious to me that it is a meaningful or useful question.
I’m not sure why we have been down-voted for these comments. I suspect that it is because questioning existence in this way appears to challenge the “objective existence” aspects of scientific realism. (Down-voters please comment if I’m wrong.)

I have had a fair amount of downvoting on this topic, with very little explanation. It’s somewhat frustrating.

Same here.
